Shokugeki no Soba is a「Thread」where the title won't change as you expect

Didn't see a thread for this yet, so here's one of the new Jump series.

Hidden:

It's a cooking manga about a boy who wants to surpass his father. It features over-the-top, often lewd reactions to tasting food. I've got mixed feelings for it so far since I really enjoy cooking manga but the fanservice feels pretty forced and the MC just feels like a generic shounen protagonist. We'll have to see where it goes.

Havent read it in english yet just skimmed trough the raws, but from what i got it's a story about a cook who brings people to orgasm if they eat his meals^^ Could be good. The art is done by tosh who up to this point only done hentai manga as far as I know.

Re: Shokugeki no Soma

If I were to helm a food manga, it would be called ARIGATOUNI and be about Italian/Japanese fusion and then after the eighth chapter of poor ratings it would become a battle manga between the Italian faction of spaghetti lassoers and the Japanese faction of mayonnaise cannons

Re: Shokugeki no Soma

Willing to give this a shot. Seems to have promise, though with the cliffhanger I'm not sure if a romantic subplot is something I'm looking for in a cooking manga.

As for a good cooking manga, Iron Wok Jan. It's a shame more scans aren't up (and I don't have money to buy the physical copies).

Re: Shokugeki no Soma

even for Jump, this series is reaaaaally fan-servicey. the art is really pro though, and the humor is pretty good (I liked the scene in chapter 2 when some haughty asshole is making a speech in narration text over a background image and at the end it goes HWAAUGH and then on the next page you see the protag has him in a chokehold). probably will be popular. I agree that Hungry Joker is toast.

Re: Shokugeki no Soma

It's a little different when going from porn straight to a shounen manga.

All the artists mentioned above are seinen manga, which is for grown adults already anyways.
When a former porn artist goes to children's manga field, they often use different alias.
Notice Shokugeki no Soma art is credited to Shun Saeki, and not "tosh".
